362 Montauk Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family brownstone at 362 Montauk Avenue in East New York, owned by Dexter Reid, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there has been a persistent pattern of water-related problems, with multiple reports of heavy flow water leaks in October 2022 and slow leaks documented in 2025. The building has also faced challenges with unsanitary conditions, including mold issues in 2022 and pest infestations in late 2021 that resulted in violations.

Three active housing maintenance code violations remain as of October 2023, primarily affecting the third-floor apartment (Apt 3), including issues with plastered surfaces, window repairs, and door mechanisms. A significant safety concern emerged in October 2022 with a carbon monoxide detector issue, though this was subsequently resolved. The building's recent maintenance history shows continued attention to basic upkeep requirements, with multiple 311 service requests and housing maintenance code complaints being addressed, though many of these were closed without violations being issued.

The property has successfully passed rodent inspections in 2012 and 2022, and the annual bedbug reporting requirements were met, with no instances of infestation reported for the filing periods in 2022-2023 and 2020-2021. An illegal conversion complaint was filed in June 2022, but access was denied during the inspection. The building's age (built in 1901) is reflected in the maintenance history, though most issues appear to relate to typical residential upkeep challenges rather than major infrastructure problems.
